[EDUC Research] Research Ethics Week 2025
Paris Nanterre University, in collaboration with its partners in the EDUC alliance, is launching the first edition of the Research Ethics Week, with the collaboration of the Research Ethics Committee (CER), the UPN Research Department (DRED), the UPN Scientific Integrity Officer (RIS), PUDN - MSH Mondes, and in conjunction with the UPN doctoral college.
Research Ethics Week 2025 - EDUC Research
The aim of this event is to offer researchers from the alliance an opportunity to explore together the contexts and modalities through which ethics underpins and improves research, through two days of meetings and scientific exchanges.
The event will take place in a hybrid format on the Nanterre campus in the Weber building on December 8 and 9, 2025.
Main themes
The two days will be organized primarily, but not exclusively, around a few main themes with interdisciplinary overlaps, such as:
- Freedom of consent: the freedom of participants to participate in and withdraw from research at any time without consequences (no researcher/participant dependency relationship, participation in research brings no benefits other than those related to the research itself, etc.) and full knowledge of these rights, for example for students participating in their teachers' research;
- conflicts of interest: multiple sources of income, scientific bias, relationships of dependency, researchers wearing two hats
- data protection: the collection and archiving of research data in accordance with European data protection regulations (GDPR)

1/ Françoise Hatchuel, university professor in education and training sciences, head of the research team “Knowledge, relationship to knowledge, and transmission processes within the Cref (Center for Research in Education and Training)” (see https://cliniquedurapportausavoir.org/accueil-equipe-de-recherche/).
David Faure, psychosociologist, senior lecturer, research team “Knowledge, Relationship to Knowledge, and Transmission Processes” (Cref). Both are co-leaders of the “clinical” component of the ‘AtOri’ research project, winner of the priority research program “Autonomy, Aging, Disability.” https://cliniquedurapportausavoir.org/accueil-equipe-de-recherche/la-recherche-atori/ (The Vulnerable).
Marie Gourion, actress, dancer, director, trainer, writer, and writing coach. The film Les Vulnérables was written and co-directed by Marie Gourion, based on a proposal by Françoise Hatchuel and a research paper by Lise Vorgy, a clinical psychosociologist working on the AtOri research project.
2/ Claudia Dell'Uomo: PhD in Comparative Literature from Sorbonne Université, currently a Postdoctoral scholar with a project on a digital cartography of Nanterre University research structures, through a qualitative and discursive analysis of its institutional and academic productions and projects. In addition to university teaching and actions, she has participated in several international conferences and published essays and articles on contemporary humanities literature. By engaging modern critical thought and focusing on the relationships between semiotics, philosophy, performance, and theater, her research aims to question epistemologies and representations arising from the hybridization of binomials such as power&knowledge, nature&culture, body&language. Recently, her interests explore how to strengthen the links between academic design, cultural research and ethical practices, as well as critical thinking and minoritarian outlooks which emerge from gender, decolonial and sustainability studies.
